Park Slope Dental Aesthetics - Union Street

This gym is absolutely awesome! The staff is very friendly, place is emaculate, with lots of updated equipment. Very cool gym. The best in Park Slope by far! more

This gym is way way way way over priced for the location and what they give you. The managers are to busy to talk to anyone, and they are ""never there."" The only people who do seem like they are working are the front desk receptionists, the cleaning staff and childcare workers. I have even seen one of the managers, a women, argue with a member of the gym about money in front of people and children. Like you really couldn't take that into your office? Just a note: This does no reflect on the personal trainers or massage people, just the price. The people are quite lovely. Personal training sessions are way to much, $88 an hour? Please. Don't even let me get to the massages! $94 an hour? Get out of here. I know Park Slope isn't a poor community but please that is just plain robbery. They probably don't want you to know this but membership fee is $1100, and it think its only cause of the anniversary price so its probably even more. Last the gym is fine if you just want to work out, take a class, shower then leave. But if you want to LEAVE the gym, there is a huuuggeee problem. They charge you for a month after you sign the cancellation form and god forbid you get pissed about it because the management won't even talk to you. I've even had a supervisor hang up on me. Beware of this gym!!! more

I happen to love this place. I don't understand all the bad blood by other people. The club is clean, the staff is friendly & Iv'e never had any problems with Management. People should stop saying half truths because it's not right. more

I met Renee Daniels a year and a half ago, at Seventh Heaven. After some quick body work in their booth I decided to give them a try. I have suffered for over thirty years with various back problems leading to feeling like I had electricity running down both legs and into my feet which burned constantly. Through their program of stretch and strength I was able to run with in one month, something I hadn't done in fifteen years, but the electricity is now off and I have not felt this good since my late twenties. This boutique gym has the best trainers in New York. The are now giving me back my wife who had been getting worse every year following a discectomy and fusion of two levels of her neck along with a forty degree scoliosis. She is showing great improvement for the first time after she had just about given up hope of being pain free. This is the only place that has helped and she tried everything from doctors to P/T to accupuncture etc. . This is the place if you have a problem or are just looking for a great, friendly gym. more

I don't even know how to describe my experience with these very rude and unprofessional staff, specially the manager/ owner James. Long story short. I have a 16 month old baby now but when my son was 7 months I got robbed by one of their sitters. I left the diaper bag inside the play area with bottles ect and my wallet with a one hundred dollar bill on it. When I left the gym to go straight to the bank, the bill was not there. I am and was 100% positive about it. Went back they fired the girl I decided to stay at the gym for 2 more months till our family moved to a new address. I left the gym had a yellow piece of paper confirming it and I was charged for a full month that I was not enrolled anymore. I tried to reach out to management by phone and in person probably 10 times with no success. I still didn't get my $100 dollars fee back. They are thiefs and disonest people. Keep distance from this illegal gym. more

I am honestly not speaking from a disgruntled ex-employee stand point. I just want people to truly know what they're getting there selves into. more

Like the MTA, this place is poorly managed and dirty, and as the monthly rates go up, fewer services are offered; however, I have limited transportation options, so I am stuck with the subway, but I have LOTS of other gym options. Just cancelled my membership and going elsewhere. Management sucks. They think it is perfectly acceptable to cancel classes and raise monthly fees with NO notice, and then have the nerve to wonder why you want to leave. Improper billing is the norm, and when attempting to correct it, they blame you or your bank (management never takes responsibility for their ineptness, and front desk personnel use the excuse, ""well, I work at the front desk and they never tell me anything""). The people who supposedly can address billing issues work limited hours during the day; if you work a regular 9-5 job they are never available (tried to talk to billing over the phone, and it gave me a headache, and the problem was NOT fixed). The gym caters to the stay-at-home mom who can go to classes in the middle of the day and talk to billing at 11am on a weekday. Oh, and if you want to work out, be ready for limited workout space, funky smells that they try to hide with spray (so not working), and dingy workout mats that are never washed. I question the positive reviews written here, and seriously wonder if they are written by management. more

I joined Slope Fitness four months ago. I had just had a baby and was feeling not so great about my body. I decided to treat myself to training sessions after the birth. Something I have never done because of the expense, but thought if there ever was a time to scrimp and save for it...after giving birth was it! I worked with my trainer for four months. I decided, when my sessions ran out, I would put off paying some bills and buy 10 more sessions because I had developed a positive relationship with my trainer and had been seeing great results. It was a big financial investment for me. Less then seven days after purchasing the expensive training sessions, my trainer was let go. I called them to get a refund (since I didn't even have a chance to use my sessions!). That is where is went so horribly wrong. Not only was the manager unbelievably rude and patronizing. The CEO that I contacted because I was so upset, was even worse! I don't know why I expected a local business that depends on customer satisfaction to do the right thing. They basically sent the message to me that they had my money now and there was nothing I could say to get it back. I have never been treated so horribly and unreasonably by higher ups. I work in a business of customer satisfaction and I would never compromise my potentially long-term relationship with a paying customer to add a few hundred dollars to my bottom line. They must really be hurting for money...since it was more important to them to keep mine rather than do the right thing. So much for local businesses wanting to stay open...at this rate this place won't last very long! more

This gym is in a basement, has no windows, no space to work out, and smells funky. And that's the good news. The bad news is that the group of people who operate this business are the most unprofessional, ignorant, and disrespectful people around town. They must take pride in ignoring complaints because several members have brought up the same issues over the years: 1. improper billing (try to cancel and they still bill you) 2. no management available to resolve issues 3. constant fee increases The only reason to belong to this gym, which i did for a few years, is if you live around the corner. But that was when the fees were $65 a month. Now they are up to $100 and it's no longer worth the BS. I'm all for supporting local businesses that aren't chains or franchises because often you get better customer service, and it seems like people invest themselves more attentively into their business. But not at The Slope. They could care less about their members and I'm sick of it. I'm out. You should be too. Eff the Slope and the people who run it! more

I have belonged to this gym for about 2 months. I signed up because of Ivy's class called ""Fit For Life"". Altho geared toward older crowed anyone can benefit. There is cardio in the beginning 1/2 hour to get the heart rate up and then various weight repetitions. Class is 1 1/2 hrs. Pros: She has good energy more

OK THIS PLACE SUCK'S SO I WALK BY THIS PLACE EVERY DAY ON MY WAY TO WORK SO ON MY DAY OFF I DECIDED TO DROP IN WITH A GUESS PASS GOD THIS PLACE WAS THE PITS FROM THE TIME I WALKED IN THE FACILITY DID NOT SMELL TO GOOD WHEN I MADE IT TO THE GYM FLOOR I SAW A BIG WATER BUG RUNNING BY I WAS DISGUSTED I TOLD A TRAINER ABOUT IT HE SMILED AT ME AND SAID OK?..THE MACHINES ARE OK BUT SOME OF THE EQUIPMENT NEED TO BE CLEANED I HAVE TO SAY THE RESTROOM WAS CLEAN ALL FOR EXCEPT THE SHOWERS AND SAUNA THE WALLS HAD WET HAIR ON THEM AND THE SAUNA BENCH WHERE BLACK I NEVER HAD TO UTILIZE A MORE DISGUSTING GYM!!

I don't know what people are talking about cm cause this place is awesome! Cool and nice staff. The place is always clean and neat. Not too crowded and not too empty. Smells good. Music is calming. And the training staff for classes is the best u can find! Price is fair for what u get. The slope u rock! !! more

This place is a disaster! I decided to try out the place after my doctor recommended some weight training after my injury. It took one visit to decide this place was not for me. I concluded that the only reason I saw anyone there was because they were stuck in a membership they couldn't get out of. The sauna was unusable. The staff was rude. The facilities do not accommodate anyone with an injury...a bunch of stairs just to get in the place...and forget it if you want a massage...you have to walk up three more flights of stairs just to be annoyed by the sound of screaming children through the thin wall they call a spa. This place is hardly a place to unwind. I walked out with more stress and pain than I walked in with. more

This gym is a great place to work out. Pros: clean facility, good staff, excellent machines more

At first I didn't mind that this place was so small because it's not usually crowded -- you can usually get the machine you want without much of a wait, even though there are like 4 bikes and not many ellipticals and treadmills. But it's not really the number of machines that's the problem, it's how CRAMPED the whole place is. It's weird to work out right on top of other people, especially when many of them are working with trainers who have no problem hanging out wayyyyyyy into your personal space. There's almost no space for stretching / spreading out a mat, and it's usually dominated by people working with their trainers (and the trainers definitely seem to think they take priority). Pros: clean, not horribly long waits Cons: extremely cramped more

I just joined the slope about a month ago and was really surprised by how much I enjoyed working out here after comparing it to the other gyms in the park slope area. I found the trainers to be very knowledgeable and friendly and very willing to give work out tips when asked. Obviously the location is great as it is right in the middle of park slope. The locker rooms are always clean and all the members that I have come in contact with have been very pleasant to talk with. I was actually surprised at how much I liked it compared to some of the other larger gyms in the area but the intimate feel of this gym really works in its favor and makes it very pleasant to go to. Have not had any of the billing problems that some of the other posts have had and really hope that I don't experience that. Overall, would recommend for those living in the park slope area. Pros: Knowledgeable and helpful trainers, location, intimate environment, good music to work out to Cons: Small space, lacks some machines more

What is wrong with this place? The towels at the Slope Health & Fitness have holes in them and some of the yoga mats are torn and patched together with duct tape. Pros: Air Conditioining, Weights Cons: Shabby Yoga Mats and Rags for Towels more

I've been a member of this gym for years. It's conveniently located for me, small but clean, and serves my needs. Because I have been a member for years, it's relatively cheap compared to say Crunch or NYSC. I have always had the monthly fee automatically deducted from my checking account. Unfortunately, about 2 years ago, I started getting phone calls every couple of months telling me my membership had expired (when it had been deducted already that month) or, worse yet, I would show up, and, even though it was paid, they would say I was delinquent and not let me work out. I've literally started carrying a bank statement printout to the gym with me (annoying, to say the least) because this has become such a regular occurrence. Pros: convenient location, less expensive than some bigger gyms Cons: horrible billing issues, unresponsive management more

I have to say i am working out now at the slop fitness gym with a buddy of mine and it's so clean in the restroom i ask one of the staff cleaning member's for his name (Alberto) then i ask him if he can bring me a hand towel to the gym floor when day where ready and he came rite over when day where (Thank You).The Slope is where i suggest anyone to GO!!..if your ready to work out and the personal trainers are so good at what day do i realy got the work out i was looking for! Pros: thumbs up Cons: thumbs up more

I've been a member of the Slope Health and Fitness Center for over a year now, its a great gym, the staff is professional and friendly, and the equipment and classes are excellent... Pros: location, staff, equipment more
